The Rough Ryder Heavy Forge Trapper is a new series in the Rough Ryder lineup. This budget friendly slipjoint is an exciting expansion of Rough Ryder’s classic carbon lineup. It has a great look and a budget friendly price of about $15.
The new Heavy Forge series features embellished T10 blades with a mirror polish and a beefy blade thickness of 0.11”. T10 is a high carbon, tungsten alloy steel with little chromium. It is technically a high-speed tool steel that is often used in swords. It will patina like carbon steel and it does require a bit of attention and care to prevent rust and corrosion. The knives in this series have half stops and match strike pulls.
The handles are a mottled brown smooth bone which look a bit like the Appaloosa series. They all have nickel silver Slant ‘R bosters and the RR Diamond shield. The trapper is 4.125” closed and weighs about 4.32 ounces.
